Description
Summary:Drug-target recognition has great impacts on revealing mechanisms of pharmacological activities, especially drug resistance and off-target effects. In recent years, chemoproteomics has been widely used for drug target screening and discovery due to its high-throughput, high accuracy, and sensitivity. However, there still remain challenges on how to efficiently and unambiguously track target proteins from complex biological matrices. Herein, we report a drug target screening method based on virus-like iron-gold heterogeneous nanoparticles (Au@Fe O NPs). The unique structure of Au@Fe O NPs not only maintains the magnetism of Fe O NPs to facilitate protein enrichment and purification, but also increases drug modification by introducing more active sites on the surface of Au NPs. After coincubating the drug modified NPs with the cell lysate, the high loading of drug on the surface of Au@Fe O NPs was beneficial for capturing target proteins with low abundance. This well-designed heterogeneous nanomaterial provides a novel strategy for improving the efficiency and accuracy of affinity-based proteomics.
